Actually, I don't think this will work; doing an "apt-get install
package" or "apt-get dist-upgrade" will upgrade packages to their latest
version, whichever disribution tree they come from, IIRC. It doesn't
matter tho, because the unstable tree is constituted not only by
unstable packages, but packages from other trees in order to fill the
gaps. When there were the actual directory trees, the files were linked
from the approriate directory. I don't know what the new fangled pool
system does to this tho; I assume all the gap-filling goes on in the
Packages file. Plus, I don't know if the gaps are filled from stable or
testing.. I'd imagine testing, seeing as it's the logical choice.
Anyway, you can install a package specifically from testing if you do
"apt-get install package=testing" or something like that; check the man
page. Of course, you do have to have testing listed in your
sources.list then.
